"I met Olga 50 years ago while working at Van Dyke Schools for just two years. But I still remember her kindness and friendliness to a "newcomer." May her family find comfort and be blessed with the many happy memories they shared. With prayerful sympathy, Judy Holmes"

"My most sincere sympathy to the families I remember Olgas kindness and warm smile. Memory eternal Rosemarie Bjedov "
"I was so sorry to hear of Olga's passing. I worked with her in the VanDyke schools where we were both Title I consultants. What a wonderful teacher she was, and so many struggling students benefitted from having her support After we retired I was fortunate enough to join her on a wonderful trip through the Canadian Rockies; she was a great traveling companion among her other gifts. She will be truly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Sue Stratton"
